Our name, Wasafiri, means “travellers” in Swahili, and was inspired by the phrase, “Traveller, there is no path, we make the path as we walk together.”
Founded in 2010 by a Rwandan, a Zambian, a Briton and an Australian, with support from the leadership development organisation Impact International, Wasafiri is a professional home for people dedicated to making good change happen.
Our staff and consultants form a community of brilliant advisors, systems-thinkers, researchers, facilitators and practitioners. They are experts immersed in tackling complex issues related to food, livelihoods, climate, nature, peace and inclusion, especially in East Africa.
